As we reported yesterday, the Gave It All Away singer is said to have told his mistress Francine Cornell that their fling was over as he attempts to make a 'fresh start' with Yvonne.

However, a source close to the Keating family has suggested that it will take a 'whole lot more than a symbolic ending of the affair' for the 36-year old former model to forgive the Boyzone front man.

The insider revealed: "Yvonne Keating will always know that her husband has been sleeping with another woman for months, while he slept in their marital bed,"

They added: "That's a big thing for any woman, but for a girl like Yvonne, it'll probably always be at the forefront of her mind. Put it this way, if there were no kids, there would be no reconciliation. This is Yvonne putting herself last for the kids."
